What is it that you fear the most? Is it crowds, heights, elevators or snakes? All of these, and a long list of other fears, are very real to some people. Everyone has a fear of something. It may be unspoken or even unknown, but rest assured we all have our fears. There is one fear however that is deep within us and we stuggle to conquer it. It is the fear of failure. We attempt to hide it by ignoring it or avoiding something we do not feel confident about. The fear of failure will keep us from enjoying some of the greatest adventures of our lives and will keep us incarcerated until we decide that failure is nothing compared to not trying.

      How do we overcome this fear? 1) First recognize what it is. 2) Don't attempt to avoid it. 3) Regard it as a challenge that you can overcome. 4) Realize too, you may fail, but use that experience as a learning tool and 5) Try again. Success never comes by quitting.
